Thanks everyone for the welcome! Some weekends, when I can't stand the wait any longer, I drive over to Riv from Berkeley and take a Hunqapillar or Sam Hillborne or the proto-Appalousa out for a short spin.
Perhaps I better make another trip over there soon before I get any crankier and my wife makes me sleep outside on a way-longer-than24o. We discovered Rivendell when someone recommended the Grip King pedals for my folding bike, which led to reading about Grant Petersen & reading Just Ride, which led discovering Rivendell was just over the hill from us, which led to dropping by and test riding their bikes, which put such a big smile on my wife's face I ordered a bike for her. Something she wasn't expecting. I have to say the people working there are the best. Scott, Keven and Sean really made sure we figured out the right size Betty Foy for my wife. We were lucky they still make the 47cm. Anyway, thanks for letting me lurk away here on the sidelines in the meantime!
